	Qajar dynasty
		Under the rule of Fath Ali Shah, Persia was forced to cede its northern lands to Russia, while the British later took effective control of the south with its rich oil deposits.
		The Qajar Shahs made several faltering attempts at modernization during the 19th century and the start of the 20th century, with a constitution and parliament being established in 1906.
		This was a controversial development; Mohammad Ali Shah was deposed in 1909 for attacking the constitution established under his predecessor.
